In 1299, he gave asylum to some Mongol rebels from Delhi, which prompted Jalaluddin's successor Alauddin Khalji to invade his kingdom.
[7] The Balvan inscription of 1288 CE mentions that Hammiradeva captured the elephant force of Arjuna II, the Paramara king of Malwa.
[8] The Paramaras had greatly declined in power, and their kingdom faced an internal rebellion after Arjuna's death.
He then returned home via the place called Chittor, Abu, Vardhanapura (Badnor), Changa, Pushkar, Maharashtra (present-day Marot village), Khandilla (Khandela), Champa and Karkarala (Karauli).
Therefore, historian Dasharatha Sharma doubts the historicity of the other raids described in the Hammira Mahakavya, and considers its digivjaya account as fictitious.
[12] In the annals of Rājpūt chivalry, there is scarcely a name better known than that of Hammīra the haṭhī, ruler of Ranthambhor.In 1299, some Mongol soldiers of Delhi Sultanate mutined against their generals.
However, Dharmasimha soon gained back the king's favour, by raising money for his fight against the Delhi forces.
This money was raised through heavy taxes on the general public, which made Hammira very unpopular among the masses.
Taking advantage of the situation, Hammira came out of the fort with a large army, and forced Ulugh Khan to retreat.
[18] After a prolonged siege followed, during which Hammira's officers Ratipala and Ranamalla defected to Alauddin's side.
[19] The ladies of the fort, led by his chief queen Ranga Devi, died by jauhar (mass self-immolation to avoid falling into the enemy hands).
[20] Hammira offered safe passages to his brother Virama, his minister Jaja, and the rebel Mongol leader Muhammad Shah, but all of them refused to desert him.
[21] Hammira and his loyal companions marched to the top of the pasheb mound, where they fought to death with Alauddin's army.
[1] Some Rajput-era bards claim that Hammira severed his own head and offered it to the god Mahadeva when faced with a certain defeat.
[22] According to the Jain scholar Nayachandra, Hammira was generous towards Brahmins, and respected all Indian faiths, including Jainism.
